News from Alpindustria Andventure Team and 7 Summits Club Everest Expedition. Tibet side. Spring 2005.

Abramov Alexander (expedition leader) reports from Everest BC (5100m), Tibet.

April 20.
Today the whole team went up, part of the team is spending night in IBC, and another part have already arrived in ABC: Nikolay Cherny, Alexander Iakovenko, Ivan Dusharin, Yuri Taidakov, Igor Pokhvalin and those who arrived earlier. Practically the whole non-russian part of the expedition is in IBC. Dmitry Moskalev got ill - he has a fever 38C.
Most probably he will go down for a couple of days. There are 2 people left in BC now - Andrey Selivanov and Alexander Abramov. Abramov is trying to get quickly acclimatized and preparing to go up - hopefully tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. The guys will spend 3 nights at 6300m, after this part of the group goes to the North Col, and part goes down. It started snowing today and got colder. I talked with all the groups on the radio. Everyone is feeling good.
